Now you might be wondering how one could possibly find an adventure in grocery shopping what is normally one of the most boring task on the face of the planet, just ask any mother.
It becomes an adventure when you have to feed close to 45 people for a couple days, it becomes an adventure when you have to use more than one shopping cart, it becomes an adventure when you forget your shopping list, it becomes an adventure when you have a strict budget, it becomes an adventure when you are with a fellow CA (Community Advisor, also see RA,) Betty.
So there we were in the middle of Trigs( Known as County Market to the rest of the world.) And we are trying to plan how to feed 45 people, breakfast, spaghetti and tacos for the next couple of days, while staying under our 250 dollar mark. It felt like we were on a game show, and not only did we have to stay under budget but we had a time crunch, as we had a meeting to go to after this was all over.
The pressure was on. When you are pressure to anything and must get it done it can become an adventure, unless you are green beans or other cannable produce.
With fear to the axel's breaking took our plunder and headed for her truck, before realizing "Shit, now we are going to have to carry all of this down to the basement and the clock is ticking down."
Some fast thinking on Betty's part saved the day, she called the HD and when we pulled up to the curb we found the some LT members waiting for us. They carried all the food down and stalled the LT meeting for us.
It truly was an adventure in grocery shopping.
